This research aims to identify the role of human resource management (HRM) in improving the performance of village officials in Lombo Village, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The research method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive case studies. Primary data was collected through interviews with village government officials, while secondary data was obtained from various sources such as websites, social media, books, and presentation materials. Literature reviews on HRM and performance were used as the basis for data analysis. The research findings indicate that HRM plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of village officials. Careful selection of village officials involving community participation, employee development through training and education, and providing fair and adequate compensation are some key aspects identified.
